Intrapreneurship

Project manager:

Mikael Stenkula

Entrepreneurship is crucial for a viable and dynamic business sector and for long-term economic development. Today the importance of entrepreneurship is being discussed both among researchers and in the policy debate.

Much of this discussion has, however, focused on entrepreneurial businessmen, but employees can be entrepreneurial as well. This category is often referred to as intrapreneurs. The level and importance of intrapreneurship differs substantially between countries. The purpose of this project is to explain these differences and identify how the intrapreneurship level can be improved in the economy.

Collaborating with others is essential for IFN as a research institute. Our researchers co-author articles with colleagues from other institutes, and many also teach at various universities and colleges.

As part of our extensive program of guest researchers, leading international researchers visit the institute. The visitors present and pursue their research as well as interact and cooperate with researchers at IFN.
